Although various genes that confer susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI) have been identified for Caucasian populations in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genetic variants related to this condition in Japanese individuals have not been identified definitively. The aim of the present study was to examine an association of MI in Japanese individuals with 29 polymorphisms identified as susceptibility loci for MI or coronary artery disease in Caucasian populations by meta-analyses of GWAS. The study subjects comprised 1,824 subjects with MI and 2,329 controls. Genotypes of the polymorphisms were determined by Luminex bead-based multiplex assay. To compensate for multiple comparisons, we adopted the criterion of a false discovery rate (FDR) of <0.05 for statistical significance for association. Comparisons of allele frequencies by the chi(2) test revealed that rs9369640 of the phosphatase and actin regulator 1 gene (PHACTR1, FDR=0.0007), rs4977574 of the CDKN2B antisense RNA 1 gene (CDKN2B-AS1, FDR=0.0038), rs264 of the lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL, FDR=0.0061), rs599839 of the proline/serine-rich coiled-coil 1 gene (PSRC1, FDR=0.0118), rs9319428 of the fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 gene (FLT1, FDR=0.0118) and rs12413409 of the cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 2 gene (CNNM2, FDR=0.0300) were significantly associated with MI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs9369640 (P=0.0005; odds ratio, 0.89), rs4977574 (P=0.0001; odds ratio, 1.50), rs264 (P=0.0405; odds ratio, 0.85), rs599839 (P=0.0003; odds ratio, 0.68), rs9319428 (P=0.0155; odds ratio, 1.20) and rs12413409 (P=0.0076; odds ratio, 0.66) were significantly (P<0.05) associated with MI. PHACTR1, CDKN2B-AS1, LPL, PSRC1, FLT1 and CNNM2 may thus be susceptibility loci for MI in Japanese individuals.
